Dozens of medical marijuana users have been left in limbo after a B.C.-based producer issued a recall for a batch of pot.

Greenleaf Medicinals issued a voluntary recall of its Purple Kush strain April 18 after a Health Canada inspection found problems with the company’s control, production and oversight procedures.

Though Greenleaf has promised to help its client find new suppliers, that hasn’t happened, leaving the 63 users affected by the recall with the possibility of being without prescription pot for weeks.

One London-area Greenleaf client says Health Canada has hung him out to dry.

The man, who only wanted to be identified only as Jay, registered with Greenleaf by sending the original copy of his authorization to possess — the document required to be supplied with medicinal marijuana — as required by Health Canada.

Without a new supplier, authorization papers and dwindling supplies, Jay said he’s worried some users might be forced to buy marijuana illegally.

“I don’t want to have to go back to having to score it on the street,” said Jay, 39, who smokes marijuana to treat an anxiety disorder.

Health Canada says Greenleaf clients have two options.

“Greenleaf is presently working with other licensed producers to find a supply of marijuana for their clients, or clients may register with another licensed producer by contacting their health-care practitioner to obtain a new medical document,” Health Canada spokesperson Sean Upton said in an e-mail.

But going back to the doctor is inconvenient and costs hundreds of dollars, said Jay, who lives hours away from his old doctor.

Another reason Jay doesn’t want to get new possession papers is because he also has a personal production licence — something the government no longer issues. His licence to grow his own pot is only valid if his authorization is dated before March 31, 2014, when the government changed the regulations.

“Following Health Canada’s guidelines, I got screwed,” Jay said.

The Greenleaf recall is the first announced by Health Canada.

Greenleaf no longer appears on the government’s list of approved marijuana producers and the company’s website has been taken down.

“Greenleaf has agreed to voluntarily stop sale of marijuana until the issues have been corrected at their site. Health Canada removed them from the listing until the issues have been corrected and the company has been re-inspected,” Upton said.
